Has anybody ever said you wear *TOO MUCH* makeup?

[burnitdown_x]

I've see your tutorials, and I think you're pretty w/ or w/o makeup. And her comments were totally un-needed.

As for the too much makeup comments, my mom tells me I do. But she doesn't know what she's talking about.

(so I had to school them, haha) but anyhow, a few of the 'seniors' when I started would tell me things like, 'o is MAC like an ethnic line?' or 'hmmm...people with more of a tan can pull off those colors...if I wore them Id look like a street walker' (that was in fact one of the instructors....lmao) And seriously I like to push it sometimes, but not enough to warrant those comments. people are craaaa-sssiee!!!

Ooooh Lord, I know EXACTLY what you mean. I really went through the same thing 3 years ago when I moved down south. Some girl was going through my make up bag and was like "Jesus girl, what is this stuff??" A lot of my friends think I'm some crazy fashionista/make up extraordinare/hair stylin' genius but really, it's not even that deep, it's all simple stuff lol. Go on youtube & watch a make up tutorial (or come on specktra!), buy some good conditioner, and read the fashion section in cosmo. Voila! You are now a "crazy fashionista/make up extraordinare/hair stylin' genius"

It's funny because I don't think I've ever had a girl say that to me. It's probably because they're too distracted with talkin shit on my style to notice my makeup.

Guys though, yea. They'll tell me I'm prettier without it. I like it though and to me it's something fun and creative so I wear it and that's that. Or they think girls who wear it are high maintenence.
glam8babe, you're lucky to have a bf like that, and you're gorgeous so that chick had to be jealous. I hate girls that talk shit like that when they don't even put their own pics up.

 

[sinergy]

but just think for everyone one person that says that you wear too much makeup, there are what two that turn around and say, 'girl your look is hawt!!'

i mean dont you love it when you can walk into a place and someone notices something like your eyeliner??? i dont mind being the center of attention!

haha. we went out to dinner the other night and i had a smokey black eye with a teal eyeliner and it looked nice, and not over done and the waitress and someone from two tables over commented on how pretty my eyes were. so its all good. the haters can keep hatin'!!!!!

 

[lnllms]

Nope, but I try to keep makeup sexy and not over done. I wear dramatic looks, but only when they look good with what I wear n where I am going. I adore makeup BUT I dont like too much on people wearing t shirts or informal stuff.... It can be 2 much in my opinion, but we should all wear what makes us feel good!

 

[lilf3rri3didi]

recently, i bumped into my ex-boyfriend's gf and she told my brother, "wow, I didn't know your sister wears "that much makeup"?" I was offended when she said that because i've never said anything bad about her, I was always minding my own business and here she is criticizing the way I look. I don't understand why people would have to be so harsh to other people by the way they look. People can apply their makeup any way they want. We all have our own opinions and creativity on our looks and it just makes us feel comfortable. I guess people are just jealous and they take their jealousy on people so that they can feel better. just ignore her and don't let her get to you, she's ignorant and immature. Your gorgeous by the way and just wear your makeup anyway you want. whatever makes you feel happy and comfortable and remember don't let the negative things get to you. =)

I haven't been told I wear too much, but I have been told I OWN too much many many times, mostly from family. Only a few of my friends know how much makeup I actually have! They think it's all in my makeup bag when I stay overnight, when I have a mini sterlite 3 drawer crammed with other stuff I chose to leave behind.

It's like anything, if YOU like it that's what matters, and if you can't think of anything nice to say, maybe you shouldn't say anything at all. I hate when people get some sick satisfaction from demeaning someone else.

My sister, especially, liked to whine to our mother about how I made her feel "like a slug" when we'd go to the mall together. I didn't feel at all bad. My attitude was, "If I make some effort with my appearance, and you don't, and I end up looking nicer than you, that's not my fault." If I had dolled up deliberately just to try to make someone else feel bad about the way she looked, that would have been wrong of me, but that's not how it was.

I am the same way as you are. People always ask me what I am all dressed up for. I'm like: nothing, it's not dressing up

It may be dressing up compared to sweatshirt, bagging pants, and crocs ... But I just want to look put together anywhere I go. That's all

About make-up, one of my male friends said that to me and I was like ok (while thinking I don't care at all what you think, makeup-illiterate

) But I never have rainbow eyes on outside the house so maybe that's why I haven't got all those comments.

What is the *deal?*
Why do some people seem to feel so threatened when someone else looks put together?
Are they *that* insecure?
If so, I think the best course would be for these people to put more time and effort into their own appearance, so they could feel better about themselves.
It's not rocket science, after all ...
As a teen, I developed my style by reading magazines, especially Seventeen, and by experimentation.

 

[BeautyPsycho]

No, I didn't not hear such comments, but (like some of you already said) people (Friends, family) tell me I own too much makeup.
I was really hurt this one time I politely asked my friend to buy me one e/s in CCO she was going to (I gave her money) and she said "No, you don't need another eye shadow! Seriously, you have too much stuff!" I felt really sad.. I didn't even know she had opinions about my makeup collection, you know? LOL I don't really spend time thinking about how much m/u my friends have. I didn't show her I was hurt, I just said "I believe it's up to me to decide if I need something..." she apologized later, saying it's not her business, and yup, I love her to death but it's nobody's damn business!
My money, my face, my enjoyment, my life! Thankyouverymuch!

 

[grlygrlnyc]

I work in a retail store and I have always gotten compliments on my makeup from customers and those I work with. So from their feedback I know my looks are not overly exaggereated but there are some coworkers that ask "Oh where are you going tonight?" &"Do you have a hot date later". Which I suspect is their way of saying that I wear too much makeup. Most girls where I work wear minimal if any makeup at all, but I love wearing makeup it makes me feel poished and put together. So I figure, as long as we are all happy and excited about our looks, no one else's opinion matters.

And the amount of makeup you own affects *her* life how?
Really, if you and she were living together, and your makeup collection threatened to keep her trapped in the event of a fire, I could see her point.
Otherwise, I think it's strictly your business, and it wasn't overly nice of her to refuse to do you a simple favor.

I agree. I suspect that they're trying to say, "You look much better than I do, and I wish you didn't."
I think you should go right on looking great and enjoying it.
It won't do your co-workers any harm to wonder if you have fabulous plans for the evening.

 

[BeautyPsycho]

Cno64, you are absolutely right... but she did apologize and she did buy that e/s for me... I guess she either really just spoke w/o thinking or said what she really and truly thinks. Either way I don't care. I'll buy as much m/u as I want!

Girlygirlnyc- I would say "Yeah, I got ready to have some hot sexy time with this awesome guy.. mmm..mmm"

maybe that would shut them up.

LOL

I'll follow both your advice and let them think I'm going out to have the time of my life... Who knows maybe after a few times of me saying this they'll come for makeup advice

It's obvious she doesn't see the wrinkles above her top lip from the kazillion cigarettes she's smoked in her life. yes, that's wonderful cigarette infused "soft" wrinkled skin you have! Don't wear makeup cuz it's bad for your skin, but smoke cigarettes for those lovely wrinkles above your lip!

omg. I'm totally there with you. My mother in law is a troll!! She doesn't wear makeup now, because she "found Jesus" and said "I don't need that superficial worldly stuff to be beautiful in Gods eyes" as she glares at me.

I was like...yeah, that is why you are nasty and oily and gross. You won't even buy cleaser unless its a Christian Organic product that people in her cultish church buy. ok....better stop about the church thing. I just really hate how she goes on about me being a sinner and "worldly" (wtf does that even mean??! I mean...I read the bible and all...but really that doesn't make sense when shes talking about my clothes and makeup)

but she even told me at dinner once...yeah she will invite me out to dinner just so she can be a bitch...that I was looking like a tart and needed to change clothes and take all that nasty makeup off. I as wearing a nice long tee shirt, with nothing (nothing! I tell you!) showing but my collar bone and hands. It was winter and icy out so I had my brown leather snow boots on under a pair of nice jeans. Right. Totally tarty.

Makeup wise, I wasn't even wearing foundation. I knew better by then not to wear face makeup and bright eyes around her. She does nothing but bitch when I do...rediculous. She just hates me because I'm pretty (I think...) and young (shes ancient...) and have a spine to think on my own. Shes a control freak and likes to hate on people. So I can understand the haters out there and how "family" can suck big time. I'm lucky my own parents and brother are awesome.

 

[PolyphonicLove]

When I go out, I at least wear tinted moisturizer and my MSFN. I hate it when people ask me why I have this or that - because I want it, goddamn it. I once heard a guy say that I always look as if I have a mask on...I'm sure it wouldn't have once he was crying after getting a swift kick in the nuts.

Moving on.

Yeah, my Beau or mum would complain about me doing my face whenever I went anywhere. Thing is, you never know who the hell you may run into. Plus, I just like to look nice. Is that a crime?

 

[ellienellie]

I went through a rebellious stage at school after my mum died.
I wore thick black liner, all around my eyes, kinda goth.
I constantly got into trouble for that.

I also remember a guy saying to a friend of mine "she wears far too much make-up, it's like a mask, she'd be so much better without it" a long time ago.

My ex also complained about the time it took me to get ready and "you don't need all that paint" blah blah....

I reckon, stuff it - wear what you like, what makes you feel good about yourself!
I always wear make-up, I feel totally naked without it!
I also agree that whoever said it to you was jealous, pure and simple.
Your FOTD's are fab and you always look great!

 

[SDD]

That girl is definitely insecure and jealous!

Your looks are absolutely beautiful and what got me looking at this site.
